From: sergentwoodie1 (Original Message) Sent: 02/11/2007 10:24 Any other owner had this one? Went to Ardingly last Sunday terriable weather conditions Wind Rain & more Rain C12 ran beautifully of course it would it's a BSA C model. No prizes but ODN & I are used to that judges don't recognise beauty when they see it, they forget that without C & D model bikes , there would have been no B or A models in the BSA range. Yesterday I at last got around to cleaning the poor old lady, gunge covered she was too. Before cleaning her she had started and ran as normal,after cleaning her I kicked her over to be met with a roar the slide had stuck in the carb , well & truely. I took the carb have freed the slide, Now why should this happen , overtightening the holding nuts to cylinder can distort the body but I haven't touched them for well over a year . Any ideas please.

Within minutes of arriving the AA man had her car running again. The blonde asked "What was the problem?" to which the AA man replied "Crap in the carburetter". The blonde looked puzzled and said "How often should I do that?"
